• Ability to design product features that generate high-quality data signals to improve model effectiveness.
• Awareness of emerging fraud prevention technologies (biometrics, behavioural analytics, network intelligence) and ability to evaluate them critically.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Why You Should Join Wise

• Your work will protect millions of customers globally, preventing scams and financial crime.
